A Definition of Idiocy Christopher W. Thomas (tristram@erols.com) dnb-as1s03.erols.com Wed, April 23, 1997 at 5:35PM |
As defined below, as anyone can see - it shows
Idiocy to be a state of mind which does bestow
Extreme state of retardation, and this means
Only a few fall into this category, who lean
Very much into a state of stupor & cannot fathom
Simple and clear communication, for they are dumb
Thus if you feel inclined to call someone this
Then you'd better make sure you understand it
It's really a simple, but most misunderstood term
Which comes far too easily, yet is a hurtful germ
So unless you do follow well the implication meant
Then - you would probably be better off in a tent
Where you can harm nobody with your senseless taunts
And hide ceaselessly under wrap in your solo haunt
To stay there long, until you learn how to behave
Amongst other people who have not been so grave.
- Tristram
